1. An arrow nock and nock receiver assembly comprising:
- a nock comprising;
a longitudinal axis;
a bowstring reception surface designed to receive a bowstring to fire an associated arrow; and
a connection surface;
a nock receiver comprising;
a longitudinal axis;
a first connection surface designed to connect the nock receiver to the associated arrow; and
a second connection surface;
a first interconnection comprising;
(1) a first groove portion that is formed on one of the nock and the nock receiver; and
(2) a first finger that;
(a) extends from the other of the nock and the nock receiver; and
(b) has a lip sized and shaped to be received in the first groove portion;
a second interconnection comprising;
(1) a second groove portion that is formed on one of the nock and the nock receiver; and
(2) a second finger that;
(a) extends from the other of the nock and the nock receiver; and
(b) has a lip sized and shaped to be received in the second groove portion;
wherein;
(1) the second connection surface of the nock receiver is designed to engage the connection surface of the nock to provide relative rotational alignment between the nock receiver and the nock;
(2) the first and second interconnections are designed to provide relative longitudinal alignment between the nock receiver and the nock; and
(3) the first and second fingers are separated by a circumferentially positioned longitudinally extending space when the nock receiver and the nock are rotationally and longitudinally aligned.

Abstract
An arrow nock and nock receiver assembly may include first and second interconnections each including a groove portion and a finger. The fingers may have lips that are received in the groove portions. The connection between the nock and nock receiver may provide relative rotational alignment between the nock receiver and the nock as well as relative longitudinal alignment between the nock receiver and the nock.
